THE ELECTRIFYING MOJO
— CHARLES JOHNSON —
Beginning in 1979, Charles Johnson (a.k.a. as the Electrifying Mojo) was heard nightly on several of the finest urban-contemporary radio stations on the FM side during his 14 years of radio broadcasting in Detroit.
The Electrifying Mojo (never seen), as he called himself on the radio, touched down his “Mothership” on WGPR, WJLB, WHYT, WTWR (Monroe; Saturday nights only) and WMXD.
Charles Johnson closed out his Detroit radio career on the station who hired him first nearly 40 years ago, WGPR 107.5. He remained there nearly three years before leaving the station and the Detroit radio scene altogether, sometime late-1993.
